"Yogi, one of baseball's best catchers, was named the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1954, the second year he has been so honored. He appeared in 154 games for New York, and his .307 batting average was the fourth best in the league. He had 179 hits for a total of 285 bases; these included 28 doubles, six triples and 22 homers. He batted in 125 runs and scored 88.
Yogi has been with the Yankees since the end of the 1946 season. He's an iron man behind the plate."

"The 'Big Man' in the Yankees' lineup last season was dependable Yogi Berra. In at least 21 games he either drove in or scored the winning run! For the sixth straight year, he was voted the American League All-Star catcher and proved he was tops by placing a close second in AL RBIs.
The Most Valuable Player of 1951 and 1954, Yogi can belt any pitch out of the park to break up a game."
